  The Only Girl in the Orchestra 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  I wish it was longer, but the subject herself is reluctant to be put on display by her adoring niece.

  The Fox and the Hound 1981

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 04 Mar 2025

  Haven't seen this since I was a kid - hits hard, both because I'm incredibly sentimental and because I can't argue with cute-animal allegories. I cried but kept it quiet because my grief came out when the kindly lady had to leave poor foxy in the woods. Felt like my mom/dad having to pass on into death leaving me behind when what I want is to go with them.

  Dio: Dreamers Never Die 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Sep 2022 1

  I saw this with a fellow Dio fan and a non-Dio fan, and all three of us rocked and rolled along with his legendary music and absorbed the larger-than-life aura captured so well by this doc.
